Support the Electric Sailing Project

Electricsailingproject Looking at the concept drawings for the E.S.P. catamaran (www.designnobis.com) you could be forgiven for thinking you were looking at sketches for a new jet fighter in Star Wars. It is state of the art and so it should be - after all it is planned to be the first 100% emission free vessel to be built.

The Electric Sailing Project is looking for the support, participation and help of manufacturers, organizations, and individuals. They will design and build a revolutionary 70 feet ocean going catamaran which will become a floating exhibition of modern day enviro pro technologies "working together". Once afloat, the E.S.P. Catamaran will be 100% emissions free.

It will use Electric Motors for propulsion. Hydrogen on demand will be made from salt water to feed Fuel Cells creating electricity. Hulls, decks and sails will be designed to function as solar collectors. also wind and tow generators will be generating electricity from air and water. No fossil fuel for propulsion or generating electricity will ever be needed.

It is great to see a project that not only pushes the boundaries in yacht design but also could be creating the vessel of the future. We wish them the very best of luck and keep you posted on how things develop.
